New Release: Crux by Julie Reece

I wanted to introduce a new release I'm excited about. Crux, a young adult novel by Julie Reece. It's described as a paranormal romance and I'm looking forward to reading it. Below is a little more about the story:

She should have run. Now, she’ll have to fight.

Eighteen year old Birdie may be homeless, but she’s surviving, that is until a mysterious guy throws money in the air like a crazy game show host and she grabs some with the idea she’ll be able to buy dinner that night.

In that singular moment, unassuming Birdie becomes the girl in everyone’s viewfinder. Thugs want to kill her. Money-guy wants to recruit her. The very hot, very rich and very out of her league Grey Mathews wants to save her.

Birdie, though, wants nothing to do with any of them until she realizes fate didn’t bring them all together.

Her heritage did.

Now, with only twenty-one days left, she’s got to decide whether to follow in the footsteps of those before her or risk her life for people she’s only just met.

Sounds great, doesn't it?

You can find Julie via Twitter, Facebook, and her Website.
You can find her novel via Amazon, Goodreads, and her Publisher.  

Are you excited by this novel? What other great new releases do you want to read?

One good thing about my Fiji holiday Lynda is the amount of books I'm getting read, and ready to review as promised. Just downloaded Carole Ann Carr's Wolf, and Carol Kilgore's first novel. This book sounds good. My Kindle will be overflowing.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Hi Elsie, not having read the book yet, I can't be sure. The main character is 18 so there may be some adult themes in the story.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks to everyone who left a comment and who have supported Julie with her book.
